dockapp (thing)

(Also spelled "Dock App") Short for "Dockable application", a small program intended for use with WindowMaker's Dock or AfterStep's Wharf areas. Essentially, a program that runs in an icon. However, unlike some other schemes like GNOMEpanelapplets, dockapps usually don't require the dock/wharf, they also run as stand-alone X11 applications if dock/wharf is not available.
